Parrotfish predation drives distinct microbial communities in reef-building corals

Abstract Background Coral-associated microbial communities are sensitive to multiple environmental and biotic stressors that can lead to dysbiosis and mortality. Although the processes contributing to these microbial shifts remain inadequately understood, a number of potential mechanisms have been i...
